Laura, there are plenty of hetero folk that do all manner of flamboyant and attention attracting things.


When one goes into something already predisposed to certain assumptions, they see what they wish to see, zeroing in on that.


Me or kate could be out and about with our kids, walking through the park, interacting with them on swings and jungle jims and such, and if we happen to kiss our partner - as any hetero couple would do - someone will immediately get all disgusted, and it will be all they choose to remember.


Judging people because of sex is just plain ridiculous, though of course that is what happens. Is cunnilingus somehow more exotic and sinful because two instead of one engage in this practise? Isn't that just plain

No...that there are differences in the two genders and that should not be ignored for the sake of political correctness.

>>> One of the parents, or someone they solicit to perform this function.

In the majority of the cases where the woman is working...are the fathers of the children staying at home with the children?

>>> Gender matters not.

I disagree...unless you can demonstrate that there is no difference between the two genders.

If it offends you then perhaps you should refrain.

Yup, but seeing as how we are also surrounded by what we consider to be normal peeps, it's kinda hard to have any misconceptions otherwise.
